Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.7_9delGAT variant (also known as p.D3del) is located in coding exon 1 of the NEXN gene. This variant results from an in-frame GAT deletion at nucleotide positions 7 to 9. This results in the in-frame deletion of an aspartic acid at codon 3. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant, c.7_9del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the NEXN protein (p.Asp3del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs760463744, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NEXN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 518850). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
